Skill instructions
<!-- Adapted from Anthropic's skill-creator skill (github.com/anthropics/skills, Apache 2.0). Trimmed to be platform-neutral: no Anthropic-specific eval viewer/scripts; the iterate-with-tests loop is preserved as a manual workflow. Copy to: <target-repo/.github/skills/skill-creator/SKILL.md -- Skill Creator A skill for creating new skills and iteratively improving them. At a high level, creating a skill goes like this: 1. Decide what the skill should do and roughly how it should do it 2. Write a draft of the skill 3. Create a few realistic test prompts and run the agent-with-the-skill on them 4. Evaluate results with the user (qualitatively, and quantitatively if the output is verifiable) 5. Rewrite the skill based on feedback 6. Repeat until satisfied; then optimize the description for triggering Figure out where the user is in this process and jump in there. If they already have a draft, go straight to test/iterate. If they say "just vibe with me, no evals", do that instead. Step 1 —Explore related resources
